## What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is a modern, evidence-based treatment technique that uses thin needles to target myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that cause pain and restrict movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in Western medicine and focuses specifically on muscular and neuromuscular conditions.

At Elevation Chiropractic & Wellness, our certified practitioners use dry needling to provide rapid relief from muscle pain, improve range of motion, and accelerate recovery for active Draper residents.

## Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture

### Dry Needling

-   Based on Western medicine and anatomy 
-   Targets specific trigger points and tight muscles 
-   Focuses on musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction 
-   Often produces immediate relief 

### Acupuncture

-   Based on traditional Chinese medicine 
-   Targets meridian points and energy flow 
-   Treats a wide range of systemic conditions 
-   Promotes overall balance and wellness 

Both treatments are available at Elevation Chiropractic. Our team will help you determine which approach is best for your specific condition.

## What to Expect During Dry Needling

1

### Assessment

Your practitioner will evaluate your condition, identify trigger points, and explain the treatment plan.

2

### Needle Insertion

Thin needles are inserted directly into trigger points. You may feel a brief twitch response as the muscle releases—this is normal and indicates effective treatment.

3

### Treatment Duration

Needles typically remain in place for a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the technique and your response.

4

### Post-Treatment Care

You may experience mild soreness for 24-48 hours, similar to post-workout muscle soreness. Staying hydrated and gentle stretching can help.
